"2:25 CST A report from a journalist embedded within the U.S. 3rd Infantry Division indicates that the division has pinned down Iraqi troops against the Euphrates River and is pummeling them with heavy artillery and air strikes. The unidentified Iraqi forces are most likely elements of the 11th Iraqi Division. CENTCOM reported earlier March 22 that the 3rd Infantry had captured An Nasiriyah and a bridge across the Euphrates to the west. It is unclear which side of the river the battle is taking place. It also was unclear what time the journalist filed the report.via Stratfor."
